Bible Young's Literal Translation

Psalm 51

1To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

2Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,

3For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.

4Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

5Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

6Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

7Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
